I'm on my period, and i woke up this morning and wen i went to the bathroom i had a strong scent of maple syrup coming from my vagina.

Different scents to: that part of the body generally means you have some bacterial overgrowth that is causing the odor. Try to take some cranberry juice for a few days to see if the bladder is the source of your odor, as bacterial growth in the bladder can eventually lead to an infection. If it does not do anything, then consider using a mild solution with some sodium bicarbonate to wash your vagina.
